DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WILL NOT TURN ON
| TEST | ACTION | APPLICABILITY |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Turn the Headlamps on. With the DRBIII® read the Multifunction Switch voltage. Does the DRBIII® display Multifunction Switch voltage between 1.4 and 1.8 volts? Yes --> Go To 2 No --> Replace the Multifunction Switch. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 2 | With the DRBIII® actuate the Headlamp Delay Relay. Listen to or touch the Headlamp Delay Relay. Does the relay click during actuation? Yes --> Go To 3 No --> Go To 5 |
All |
| 3 | Remove the Headlamp Delay Relay. Measure the voltage of the Fused B+ circuit in the Headlamp Delay Relay. Is the voltage above 10.0 volts? Yes --> Go To 4 No --> Replace the Junction Block Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 4 | Remove the Headlamp Delay Relay from the junction block. Ensure fuses 13 and 12 are OK and are installed in the junction block. Connect a jumper wire between the Fused B+ Circuit and the Headlamp Delay Relay Output Circuit in the relay connector. Did the low beam headlamps come on? Yes --> Replace the Headlamp Delay Relay. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Repair the Fused Low Beam Output Circuit for an open condition. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 5 | Remove the Headlamp Delay Relay. Measure the voltage of the Fused B+ circuit in the Headlamp Delay Relay. Is the voltage above 10.0 volts? Yes --> Go To 6 No --> Go To 8 |
All |
| 6 | Remove the Headlamp Delay Relay from the junction block. Connect a 12 volt test light between the Headlamp Delay Relay Control circuit, and the Fused B+ circuit in the Relay connector. With the DRBIII® actuate the Headlamp Relay. Did the test light flash during actuation? Yes --> Replace the Headlamp Delay Relay. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 7 |
All |
| 7 | Turn the ignition off. Remove the Headlamp Delay Relay from the junction block. Remove the Body Control Module from the junction block. Measure resistance of the Headlamp Delay Relay control circuit. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes --> Replace the Body Control Module. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Replace the Junction Block. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 8 | Remove and test the PDC Fuse 4. Is the Fuse open? Yes --> Go To 9 No --> Repair the open Fused B+ circuit between the Headlamp Delay Relay connector in the junction block and the PDC Fuse 4 connector. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 9 | Remove Fuse 4 from the PDC Measure the resistance of the Fused B+ circuit in the fuse connector to ground. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes --> Repair the Fused B+ circuit for a short to ground. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Replace the fuse and retest the system. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
